The most underutilized characters in Neverland are the mermaids. This binding's scale pattern reminds us all that they are not to be forgotten.

Concentric circles represent one method of laying color when marbling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/1695677514106-1KXMY6KQYEJG3AMM0FAM/20230515_085807.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings One of my earliest memories is asking my Mom to read this book (Hiawatha by author Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and illustrator Susan Jeffers) to me again and again. I was enthralled by the images of nature and the idea of becoming one with nature the way the titular character does. I wanted the birch tree covers to guide you into the forest, into the natural world, into Hiawatha's world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/cb322d85-69f5-4e6f-a4d6-6e52d7edb40b/20230422_130944.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings Vita Nuova was designed for the 2023 NBSS Spring Exhibit. The design was inspired by a 16th century book collector, Thomas Mahieu's private collection known for it's interlocking ribbon patterns, and the beauty of Celtic knots.

This style of edge gilding gives a more antique look. Can only be done on books that are unbound. Chosen to remind us that even after the story is "over" there is still beauty to be had. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/8b7f1a9d-9738-47fe-9130-228048dcf766/DSC_0378.JPG Portfolio - Design Bindings Lampblack ink edges, sprinkle gilt, and gauffered edge.

This technique can be used on almost any type of cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/ae99cdb5-a655-4af8-9f01-5d04f7ebecaa/20230422_131049.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings Dante is obsessed with the girl Beatrice. I was impressed during the book at how teenage crushes haven't changed in the past few hundred years. Always drawn to bindings with textured covers, I created raised panels with the Gothic "doodled" letter "B" cut out to show Dante's obsession. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/531b1b23-8688-4885-b957-8febce9e7455/20231220_085139.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings Diaper pattern covers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/fee973e3-24ea-4958-8e7e-a7c707baf8e2/20230515_085143.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings The mermaid theme continued to the inside of the binding. The leather doublure has been carbon tooled to match the outside. Black on black suminagashi endpapers were chosen to evoke the feel of water and idea that we never know what changes a small ripple can create. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/1695677368796-51OF9BMM8KWGDJA2VV9K/20230515_085357.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings It is only natural that a book on marbling have marbled endpapers. The papers were marbled by the artist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/6b8e6068-3073-4bdf-b95d-4bd184ae3535/20230515_085745.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings The front and back covers have different patterns of birch trees inviting you into the book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/1683895623363-51E406YTMSK6UG0SZOPU/20230422_131150.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings The covers are framed by a double-blind tooled line with corner embellishments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/14aa7c14-e118-4350-99f8-f0336d10f5d7/20231220_091558.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings Diaper pattern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/1695676895080-NE8IFW1TEP7O40Y7UUWR/20230515_085113.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings I enjoyed the geometric pattern of the scales as a background for the sun and stars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/1726617422657-RU75SXNAFTU0Q4G93SHV/20230515_085408.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings Another view showing the texture of the blind tooled pattern and the sprinkled edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/1683895659081-QX8WHYBTG0UZHVY753S3/20230422_131212.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings The onlayed leather knots represent how tangled up Dante's perception of the world is with his obsession with Beatrice. The fact that they never quite connect show that it is his own obsession that is keeping him from seeing all of Beatrice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/5492e9b0-44b7-489d-99d8-c2fb91abb2aa/20231220_091715.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings Leather filigree covers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/1683895494688-OXDOL38OHV2K41YRW6E6/20230422_131228.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings The precision of the knots continues onto the blind tooling on the spine. This tooling continues over the endcaps and is gauffered into the sprinkle gilt head and lampblack decorated edges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/a89cbf1e-b55a-481a-9df6-b9a6114918d0/20231220_091737.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings Closeup of the leather filigree over gold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623e32f95dbd5e662f536834/1683895541873-QEQPLR21EUFNHGC87LJH/20230422_131007.jpg Portfolio - Design Bindings The simple color palate and geometric design of the exterior are blown away by the very organic pattern of the Italian Vein marbled endpapers.
